WYFF News 4 crews at the scene took pictures of at least 3 fire trucks and and EMS unit responding.

Crews from the Parker Fire District responded.

At least one apartment was severely damaged. Our crews say a woman's three dogs were inside.

Marisol Abrams said she was not with her dogs in the apartment when the fire broke out.

Two neighbors told News 4 they kicked in the door, and found the dogs lying unresponsive on the floor. One neighbor said all he saw was a black smoke.

They were able to quickly revive two dogs, but the third dog was not responding.

Bob Mihalic with Greenville County, says the dogs are getting medical assistance at Greenville County Animal Care.

There was no immediate word of any other injuries.

Abrams says she has no heat in her unit, and other residents say there are no smoke alarms in the apartment complex.

While talking with our news crews, Abrams got word that the third dog was revived and is going to survive.

This fire is another loss for Abrams, who says she lost her son in a moped accident just a couple of weeks ago. And a year ago, she says her brother-in-law was hit by a garbage truck and killed on Black Friday.

Adding to that, Abrams says her Christmas present were also burned in the fire.

Despite the loss of her home, she still says she doesn't care where she lives, as long as she has her dogs. She says she plans to live in her car until she can find another place to live.

The complex is called Carolina Apartments, but the residents tell News 4 they have nicknamed it Death Row.
